Learning higher lessons If you were to walk into a classroom teaching Russian or any other language you presently don’t know, you wouldn’t expect to grasp the whole language in one sitting. This is absurd. There is too much to learn. Learning the language of Esoteric Spirituality is the same. To understand what is being said, you must listen to higher ideas often, whether in a physical classroom or a state of mind of receptivity. Having aims is a psychic tool that can be used daily to help you keep esoteric facts in front of you. Remember, while in any wrong state, like depression, worry, or self-concern, these higher lessons can’t be seen. These negative states block out higher facts from entering because they pass through negative filters that taint and distort everything.
Having an aim: Develop your soul by placing spiritual aims in front of yourself all day. Something else must be awakened. And what must be awakened is the part that taps into self-observation of all your inner processes. This “seeing” is a tremendous energy source you haven’t used. It has always been within you, waiting for your discovery. Setting aims, like not complaining, saves tons of energy for higher lessons. You can develop into a happy, productive, light-hearted individual. Waste no more time in unprofitable negative states of mind. Have new aims daily to keep your spirit healthy. The world encourages sameness, dullness, and laziness by getting you to believe in future heavens and keeping you out of the present moment. Loving aims, your real nature, is always relaxed, at ease, and happy. So, quit messing around with your life and climb up to a more joyful existence.
One of my aims is to write a post once a month. These teachings have given me so much that I want to make them available to the few who can make no sense of the world as it is and are looking for something more. I can encourage those few, but they must go into personal action to see if these ideas are true and right for them. They will have to wade through many discouraging thoughts that will say anything so they won’t investigate these truths. These thoughts have dominated them and everyone else all their lives. Newsflash! There is something else besides these thoughts that say but never deliver a nicer life. This something else can’t be put into words (words are so limiting), but the best I can do is say: They will find something New. Best Wishes to all.
Thank you Steve for sharing these teachings and your reminder that there is something else beyond the negative thoughts that dominate, but I must do the work for myself, investigate.
As a language teacher, I completely understand and agree with what Steve says above. How can you expect to learn anything in depth in just 1 lesson. Also, we have been so conditioned by everyday life that having an aim seems strange. Am I not alert to what’s going on in my life? The honest answer is, NO. Having an inner aim can completely change any situation we are normally asleep to. Also, anything worth having requires persistent effort. The rewards of this work are no different. A passing interest will not be enough. The higher knows the true heart of everyone and does not pass out rewards willy nilly. It must be earned with persistent inner work, as Steve also mentions above.
